Pagan Apologetics

Access to Insight Readings in Theradava Buddhism. Read about other religions too. You can find things that you didn't know. If Shinto can be combined with Buddhism, why can't Paganism? http://www.access-to-insight.org

Adherents Religion Statistics. http://www.adherents.com

Ancient Egyptian Virtual Temple A good site for learning about the Kemetic religion, as it was practiced in ancient times. It doesn't have a whole lot on modern Kemetic Paganism but it's still pretty good. http://showcase.netins.net/web/ankh/index.html

The Annotated Book of Mormon A skeptics guide to the Book of Mormon. Pretty good, I typed up some of the points and gave them to a Mormon friend. http://www.primenet.com/~heuvelc/annotated/intro.htm

Answering Christianity An Islamic response to some Christian attacks. It's interesting to see how Muslims read the Christian gospels and to get their perspective. Unfortunately, I don't think English is the author's first language. http://www.answering-christianity.com

The Anti-Pat Robertson/Christian Coalition Site What is this man really up to? Why is he so rich? The author is a Hindu. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/7027/patrobertson.html

Akhenaten Fellowship Atenism is Kemetic monotheism. One of only two web sites I have found advocating this religion. http://www.atenism.org

Avesta -- Zoroastrian Archives Judaism gained much from this other desert religion. Read and see how close they really come. Zoroastrianism may be a minor religion now but thousands of years ago it was certainly popular. http://www.avesta.org

Biblical Errancy by Dennis McKinsey These are 186 issues of a newsletter which deals with problems in the Bible and Christianity. Although the site is run by an atheist, you can see some reasons why we are not Christians. http://members.aol.com/ckbloomfld/index.html

Biblioteca Arcana Lots of writings about Hellenic Neo-Paganism. Categories include "Theory, History, etc.," "Rituals," "Divination," "Hymns, Poetry, etc.," and "Other." http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/index.html

Capella's Guide to Atheism An atheists shows his problems with Christianity and Judaism. Of course, he can't prove anything against Paganism. http://web2.airmail.net/capella/aguide/index.html

Casey's Critical Thinking A good site for Christian apologetics. I have done a little bit of refutation of this man's work. http://www.carmical.net

The Catholic Encyclopedia Although Catholic, this encyclopedia covers thousands of different theological viewpoints and famous (or infamous) Church leaders. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/index.html

Chick Publications The infamous tracts from Jack T. Chick. Of course they are filled with inaccuracies, propaganda and outright lies, but what else do you expect from Evangelists? http://www.chick.com

Christian Classics Ethereal Library Contains lots of good historical texts, including some Gnostic and heterodox works. http://www.ccel.org

Cygnus Study: Debunking the Bible Some of the more common problems with Christianity and the Bible. http://www.cygnus-study.com

DemonBuster Bet you didn't know that acne is caused by demons! If this guy wasn't serious, this site would almost be funny. I wrote a reply to the "Homosexuals and Lesbians" article on this site. http://www.demonbuster.com

The Dionysion A Hellenic Pagan site in honor of Dionysus. Learn about the God ("Theos"), the alteration of consciousness ("Lysiphron"), and the performing arts ("Theatron"). Part of the Hermetic Fellowship http://www.teleport.com/~aforrest/HFWeb/Dionysion/Dionysion.html

Earth Graphics Some awesome graphics done by a 17-year old Wiccan with The Gimp. More than just pentagrams. http://lailiel.tripod.com/index.html

Electronic Journal of Mithraic Studies Where did Christianity get all of its strange ideas? The Persian/Roman religion of Mithraism is one source which is really close. Unfortunately, there is not much known about this religion. This is a serious site for serious researches. http://www2.uhu.es/ejms/index.html

The Encyclopedia Mythica Learn about the Gods of many different cultures. A large part of the site is, of course, Greek mythologies and heroic legends. Also has "family trees" of the Greek Gods and translation charts between Greek and Roman pantheons. Very Good Site. http://www.pantheon.org

Erowid Cultures from all over the world use psychoactives. This site is not only one that teaches you about psychoactives but also about the religious settings in which they were, and are, used. http://www.erowid.org

God Hates Fags One of the most infamous sites on the internet. Cult leader Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church (the majority of which is his own family) attacks homosexuals. Of course, I still can't figure out the \emph{why} because he believes in total pre-destination! Of course, I'm gay and I don't really care what the Bible says, but if I was born to go to hell anyway, what does it matter if I am gay? I hate Fundies! http://www.godhatesfags.com

God Hates Fundies One of the many anti-Phelps pages on the Internet. It counters Jack Chick and Fred Phelps and any Fundamentalist or other nut-job who uses illogical arguments to defend an immoral belief (that's my job too!) http://www.godhatesfundies.com

God Hates Phelps A small anti-Fred Phelps site. http://www.godhatesphelps.com

Infidels The Secular Web, a resource for all non-theists and (of course) us anti-monotheists. http://www.infidels.org

Institute for First Amendment Studies Support Freedom of Religion! http://www.ifas.org

Jesus21 Defending the rights of the un-born-again. Mature Christianity is not Christian! I still don't know what this site is actually advocating. But it's still cool. http://www.jesus21.com

Judaism vs. Christianity Did Jesus actually teach anything else besides a reformation of Judaism? Was Paul the real founder of Christianity, not Jesus? From a Gentile Jewish perspective. http://www.judaismvschristianity.com

The Kingdom of God is Here and Now What is the Kingdom of God? The Church and the Bible don't say the same thing. From a liberal/heterodox Christian viewpoint. http://www.kingdomgod.org

The Living Dharma This site has a lot of good, real-world advice for those who follow a Buddhist path (and, of course, for everyone else too!) http://www.livingdharma.org

The Lyre A now defunct(?) magazine of Hellenic Paganism. The site contains an archive of past issues. http://www.globaltown.com/shawn/lyre.html

Melvig G.O.A.L. Reference Library. This stuff is quite disturbing! G.O.A.L. (God's Order Affirmed in Love) is a Christian Identity group, they are anti-Semetic and White seperatist. Just see some of the other nut-jobs out there. http://www.melvig.org

Mithraism A religion that closely parallels many of Christianity's key points, yet predates the supposed life of Christ by six centuries! http://www.mithraism.erudition.net/index.html

The Development of the Canon of the New Testament This is the best site that I have found to learn all about the non-canonical books of the New Testament and about which Church Fathers accepted what books. Thank the Gods we don't claim that a God wrote our ancient texts! http://www.best.com/~gdavis/ntcanon/index.html

The Nietzsche Channel "God is dead!" cried Freidrich Nietsche, "What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of god?". However, 120 years later, religion is making a comeback. Learn what the moral reasons for rejecting Christianity are, but don't forget that Paganism is still valid. http://www.geocities.com/thenietzschechannel/index.html

Pagan Library Doesn't really do much to look at non-Wiccan religions but it does have some good stuff. http://www.paganlibrary.com

Pagan Origins of the Christ myth Does Christianity come from the combination of some Pagan Mystery religions? Heavily based on "Jesus Mysteries" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. I just finished the book, it's pretty good. Of course, I'm no monotheist, but it's interesting to look at the origins of other religions. http://home.earthlink.net/~pgwhacker/ChristianOrigins/index.html

Per-Bast: the Domain of Bast A shrine to the Egyptian Goddess Bast by a Kemetic Orthodox priestess. http://www.per-bast.org

The Perseus Digital Library Lots of texts, many of which are Greek and Latin classics. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu

The Principia Discordia Discordianism is a religion dedicated to the Goddess Eris. Important things are being funny and not making sense (and of course, not eating hot dog buns) Hail Eris! http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tilt/principia/index.html

Qadash Kinahnu - Gateway to a Canaanite Phoenician Temple The only group of Canaanite Pagans I have found so far. Contains good texts on polytheology and some neo-Pagan ideas. http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/2938/index.html

Rainbow Wind "... [A]n Internet resource for Lesbigay Pagans and their friends". It focuses on Wicca, but it shows you that just because you are "religious," it doesn't mean that you have to be anti-homosexual. http://web.qx.net/SarahG/RBW/rbwintr.htm

Religious Tolerance The Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance have a very extensive web site on different religions and "hot topics." http://www.religioustolerance.org

Reluctant Messanger An interesting site which tries to reconcile differences between science and religion between different religions. I don't personally agree with him, but it is interesting. http://www.reluctant-messenger.com

Sacred Texts Huge reference site with lots and lots of religious texts and studies from all over the world. For Pagan works, look in "Traditional" and then "Classical Paganism". http://www.sacred-texts.com

The Shrine of the Goddess Athena Praise be to Athena! This site is a very good one, and the most complete "shrine" site that I have found to date. http://www.goddess-athena.org

The Skeptics Annotated Bible The entire KJV Bible with lots of notes about what is violent, intolerant, scientifically false, or contradictory. How can such a falliable (and failed) book be the "Word of God"? http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com

The Temple of Aphrodite A small site that tells about the Goddess and lists her children. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/3470/index.html

Why Wiccans Suck This give a good overview of reasons why people leave the Wiccan religion. "I have no problem with Wicca. It's the Wiccans I can't stand." Why is every Wiccan web site "for beginners"? Do Wiccans actually do any real magic instead of just complaining about how they're oppressed? One objection, some Pagans do pick arguments with Christians, but everyone needs a hobby, right? http://www.angelfire.com/fl2/4nongoths/index.html

The Witches' Voice One of the better Wiccan sites on the Internet. Actually, they deny being a "Wiccan" or "White light" site, but the influence is certainly there. Pretty good actually. http://www.witchvox.com

World Religions Index A Fundamentalist look at other religions. The site is designed fairly well, although they use the same Fundy arguments. It might have a new paint job but the engine still doesn't run. http://wri.leaderu.com

The Writings of Brian Elroy McKinley A good site about someone who left the Church but still has somewhat of a liberal Christian bent. A good place to look at Christianity that is neither anti-Christian nor fundamentalist. http://www.elroy.net
